Feral Cat Captured In Glen Burnie School

They reopened Richard Henry Lee elementary school in Glen Burnie this morning after school officials said over the weekend that they were pretty sure that a loose cat had left the building. Turns out they were wrong.

In a letter addressed to the parents of the students of Richard Henry Lee Elementary, the school explained that this morning before students arrived at the school, teachers found urine and fur in a classroom supply closet.

"We closed the closet door, notified Animal Control, and made plans to move students in the classroom adjacent to that closet to another area of the building when they arrived," the letter says.

The cat forced school to close around 9 a.m. on Friday, giving students a head start to their Labor Day weekend. What happens to the cat next is up to Animal Control, says school spokesman Bob Mosier.

Moiser also says the cat was captured without injury to the animal or to the kids at the school.
